Subject: Error: Un-Successful Login
Date Posted: 19 April 2007 at 6:59pm

I've been using WWF for years now, and have never experience this problem myself, or with any other members.

However, I have just found that I can't login to my account using IE6 on my PC.  Firefox and Opera work, but not IE6, I just get this message;
 
Error: Un-Successful Login 
Your login was un-successful due to a session tracking error.
Please ensure that cookies are enabled on your web browser and you are not hiding or masking your IP address.
Click here to retry logging into the Forum.
 
I can login fine on my work laptop using IE6, but not on my home PC.
 
I just can't understand it.  No changes have been made in IE or on my forum, so can't workout what's going on.  I've deleted all temp files, cleared cookies etc, but with still no luck.
 
Any ideas?

Sometimes firewall or other PC security software installed on your machine can course issues.

The only firewall I run is a hardware one, and that hasn't changed since I put it in.

I've disabled my virus scanner (which also hasn't changed), but still no luck.
 
I'm really confused.

try deleting your cookies.

ive found that the cookies get currupt or something, and normally happens with IE.

MAYBE; 20-) If forum members can't be login and/or admin section can't be login; "functions/functions_session_data.asp" edit the file "Const blnDatabaseHeldSessions = False" and change the True.

I am having the same issue... well sorta.

I can login, and it even accepts the username and password but then returns me to an unlogged in state. I bumped sessions, application vars and even rebooted.
 
It is not an issue with FireFox, only in IE7

Not sure exacly why... was likely related to the session cookie (which I tried to clear) but I logged on without the www. in the domain name it it worked.

Weird... but I thought I'd share.

I am having the identical problem. I try to login as administrator and it acts as though it is logging me in but suddenly reverts back to unloggedin state. I tried it without the "www" in the URL and it worked properly. It also worked on all non-IE7 browsers I tried (Firefox, Opera and Netscape).
 
I have done the usual cookie clearing and fiddling with IE settings but can't get by this. Any ideas? What worked for you?

For it to work in IE you need to close IE, go to your Internet settings in your control panel, and first delete all cached internet files, THEN delete all cookies. This then forces IE to rebuild it's cookie index.

What still surprises me is that MS know of this issue as they give the same advice on a number of their own sites, so why they have not fixed it with IE 7 is beyond me.
